'''YIMBY''' is an acronym for Yes In My Back Yard, coined in contrast to the [[NIMBY_concept|NIMBY]] (Not In My Back Yard) syndrome, and describing a point of view and various advocacy groups which support growth, new housing, new transportation infrastructure, and broad urban development generally. 
 
The term 'YIMBY' seems to have originally arisen in the U.S. waste-management industry in the 1980s to suggest an alternative view to NIMBY opposition then perceived as imperiling the siting and operation of waste plants.
